ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Are both platforms typically used at Fairway and Conestoga? Does one train run in to Platform A, the driver gets out for a break, and then the train that was already there leaves from Platform B, leaves next, making room for the next incoming train to arrive at Platform B?  I could imagine that that would be the best location to add a new train.  The driver on break could take the next trainset out.

Apparently, "How long does it take to couple two LRVs?" is difficult to Google to figure out.  The best I could find was this very short, but apparently real-time, video of two units in Edmonton. This Swedish train did it in less than a minute. The only question would be whether anything else needs to be done before the new duo trainset can be put into service.
